If I am a Baptist and I am proud of it, I want that it shall affect me not in the way of making me narrow and bigoted and intolerant, but humble, patient, and loving toward those who differ from me, and hearty, generous, energetic, and persevering in the use of my time, talents, and means for the furtherance of the good cause. Let us show our devotion to our principles, not by boastfulness and arrogance, but by a watchful attention to the needs of the cause we love. Thus shall we best show to men our fidelity and zeal; and thus best help the truth in its onward march to complete and final victory.

Thank you for sharing that, I'll need to read the whole thing. Recently someone e-mailed me and tried to convince me that denominations were evil, so I've been trying to read up on and come up with helpful material on the subject so I'm ready to deal with it next time, plus I myself get frustrated with it all, so it's good for me too.
